90's Fender Mexi Jazz Bass That's finger or nail wear. Even wore away some of the pickguard and the edges of the pickups. A poly finish will wear, it's just going to take a lot more time or concentrated "effort" from the player.

Drunk Driver Dad posted:Mine has a Floyd Rose. But that sounds weird. I do have a Hipshot bridge on my Ormsby and it feels fine, in fact I can't really feel the saddles much at all because the strings still sit a little higher than the top of the saddle. If those kind of bridges have the action screws too long, those sometimes poke out and feel stabby. You can get shorter screws in that case. Hipshot yeah, and it's not the screws, they are flush or sit perfectly out of the way. It's the corner of the drat saddle LOL.

Its 3am and it took me a while to realise that this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjWF_6Nu6MI is not the Loveless you were talking about. I watched it for a couple minutes waiting for the noise to kick in. I've been listening to drone metal with my 18mo at naptime and thought maybe I'd given myself 'noise brain' too.

Is there a tuneomatic style bridge I can swap onto the posts of my current one that lets you adjust the action for individual strings? Edit: I’m getting buzz only on my D and G strings.

Slight buzz on g and d on an electric isnt too abnormal, as long as you can’t hear it through the amp is the general consensus but ymmv. I can’t really get d string buzz to ever go away fully on my sg. A couple things I’m going to look into on my sg about that: the bridge (mine is slightly collapsing, and I’ve also heard the notches if improperly sized or burred in the bridge metal can create buzz). And I haven’t attacked the nut yet ethanol fucked around with this message at 18:12 on Dec 14, 2022 |

I can’t really get d string buzz to ever go away fully on my sg. It’s not a horrible buzz, but because it’s an arch top I notice it a lot when not plugged in. I think I can raise the whole action a bit and try to mitigate it. If it’s the nut through I might just take it to someone and have them deal with it.

short scales are just so comfy for me-- i'm pretty small and thin, and they're light as hell. i feel more in control when i play them. but i also have hands like salad fingers -- thin and long fingers. so short scales let me stretch and do all sorts of nutty horizontal stuff. always liked decorating chords in the rhythm part w my left hand. gently caress i'm convincing myself to buy another guitar arent i

Mustang bass is short scale I think there were a bunch between like 1993 and 2016 that weren't, but the one I have is and it rules and I love it. It's a guitar-sized bass.

Almost all of the drums on Fashion Nugget are an 808. "Sounds bad" is situational and it's definitely possible to use any tone effectively.

I feel like the percussionist from Big Black is maybe the better example... Baron von Eevl posted:it's definitely possible to use any tone effectively. This is the x0x drum machine philosophy. They compress, saturate, EQ, etc *incredibly* well. 808 snare is a little weird dry but it sounds surprisingly close to something contemporary but acoustic if you run them both through a DBX 160 and a gated reverb.

Digging through my wife's stuff back at her parents, she found this really embarrassing poem she submitted to one of those "young poets of america" book scams, so I wrote a song with it for a gag Christmas present. And now that it's all recorded, it sounds all mis-mixed and I am just not smart enough to figure out why. THAT'S what I wish I had an ear for. I'd rather have a few hours of a class in that than in any sort of playing.

I think an issue is it's all mid-rangey. I tried to bring up the highs in the drums to fill it but I'm not sure it isn't obnoxious. Hrm. Maybe another guitar part but there's already a lot going on here. A solo? (Again, keep in mind this was written by a 15 year old in about 1995.)

An 808 by itself sounds almost nothing like a real drum set. It also sounds great in a mix if you know what you're doing and use it in the right way. A Line6 Pod isn't as flexible as an 808, but both are artificial sounding and lame if you don't use them right. I'm not saying an 808 sounds bad, I'm saying a single element like that only sounds "bad" if you're using it wrong. Buy I'm also the guy that doesn't really mind the St. Anger snare sound.
